Trivia
For years it was alleged that title role was written with Aaliyah in mind and she had actually accepted the role but died in August 2001 before she had begun filming. In 2020, however, director Bille Woodruff dispelled this rumor and revealed that the role was actually written with Beyoncé in mind but Knowles was unable to due the project due to touring.

Goofs
When Honey and Raymond are out looking for his brother Benny, they see him entering a restaurant and they start to cross the street, but in the next scene he is already eating a big plate of food when they approach him. From the time it took them to cross the street and enter the restaurant, he could not have had the time to order, receive and start eating his food.

If only they had remembered to include a plot...

This movie, if the director had cut out all of the acting and concentrated on 90 minutes of music videos, it would be immensley more entertaining. Ms. Alba was at the screening I attended and admitted she did not know how to dance prior to being signed for the movie. This was very evident in the movie when she was surrounded by actual dancers. The plot was extremely contrived and is full of ethnic stereotypes. From the evil Black drug dealer to the rich White yuppie drug buyer. Interestingly enough, Ms. Alba's Hispanic roots are completely ignored, perhaps to escape any comparison to Jennifer Lopes as she repeatedly stumbles over the ethnic slang that predominates the dialog. The screen play could have used a little bit more humor to counter balance the sometimes dark subject matter. The ending made little sense and reminded me of a scene from "The Brady Bunch" as they had to put on the 'Big Show' to raise money.
